Two preseason games into his preseason NFL career, Dewayne Robertson has only a single assisted tackle to his statistical credit, something that might suggest the Jets’ No. 1 pick is struggling.

After each of the Jets’ two preseason games, Herman Edwards has said the same thing: “He played OK,” which is not a ringing endorsement.

Yesterday, though, Edwards was slightly more complimentary of Robertson, saying, “He was disrupting. There were a couple of runs where he penetrated and got into the backfield and he had a couple of [QB] pressures. He’s coming along pretty good.”

Robertson has had to deal with his share of double teams, something he’s having difficulty getting used to and likely a reason why he hasn’t yet flashed with any big, noticeable plays.

“Sometimes he flashes and you don’t see the little things he’s doing to allow some other guys to make some plays,” Edwards said. “With linemen you see flash when they make a sack or tackle a guy behind the line of scrimmage. [Robertson] is causing some havoc where other guys are making plays because of it. He’s a work in progress.”

Robertson suffered a right thigh contusion in Sunday’s game, though Edwards said it’s not anything serious.

In other injury news, RB Jonathan Reese has a sore right lower leg, LB Victor Hobson has back spasms, LB Vince Alexander has a dislocated right finger, CB Jamie Henderson has a left knee sprain, DE Matt Walters has a left thigh contusion and QB Brooks Bollinger has a right thumb sprain.

Among the players who didn’t play Sunday but are expected to play in Saturday’s game against the Saints at Giants Stadium include WR Wayne Chrebet (shin), G Tom Nutten (back) and DE Bryan Thomas (ankle).

Depending on how he makes it through practice this week, the plan is for DT Chester McGlockton to make his preseason debut Saturday night.

After Sunday’s game, Bollinger was furious with himself for fumbling a ball away for the second consecutive week, though both turnovers were products of missed blocks.

“I was mad at myself, definitely,” Bollinger said. “That’s something you can’t have – turnovers. It happened last week when I got hit in the back and happened again [Sunday].”

Edwards wasn’t as hard on Bollinger.

“He got hit quite often and we don’t like that,” Edwards said. “But it seems like every week he makes a play. [The Bengals] blitzed him and threw it out to [Jonathan] Carter and made a big gain. He’s learning.”
